I just ran into Scott's problem.
The problem is not that gnuradio-companion's popen() of .../top_block.py
is failing, it's that the popen() of the xterm executable, xterm, is
failing.
gnuradio-companion tries to open an xterm when you have a "No GUI" top
block.
$ sudo yum install xterm
solved the problem for me.
